Abstract

Radiopharmaceutical activity within the stomach is commonly encountered in SPECT MPI. It can be intraluminal due to duodenogastric bile reflux or can be intramural due to underlying gastropathy; in either case, gastric activity can be a vexing source of artifact. Modification of the imaging protocol and other strategies may be necessary to prevent or limit intraluminal gastric activity.
